Water Heating Timers

When you want to make your home more energy efficient, your water heater should be towards the top of your priority list. A water heater can account for as much as 12% of your homes energy usage. A water heater will save you some money in most circumstances. If your electric company charges more during the evening hours, using the timer during these times will reduce the cost per kilowatt.

Water heaters can you be controlled from anything as simple as an On/Off switch to using an app on your smartphone from anywhere in your home. There are many different types of water heater timers and all have their different benefits.

A Countdown Timer has to be turned on manually but you will no longer need to worry about forgetting to turn it off as the switches changes automatically, making it more efficient than the On/Off switch. Programmable Timers are probably the most efficient. This allows you to set multiple presets determining when you want the hot water on, so when the whole family uses the hot water. A third option is the Box Timer, which have the advantage of allowing you to set different usage periods based on the day of the week or the hour of the day.
